Fawn was selected as the 69th pick overall in the season 21 DSFL Draft to the Kansas City Coyotes. Though it was predicted that, if going off of pure talent and production alone, Fawn would be selected higher overall, the opportunity for him to go down as pick 69 was too tough to resist. After a painfully long offseason, Fawn finally got his opportunity to play during the team's preseason games. Unfortunately, the team only managed a record of 1-3 over their preseason games, and the coaches and GM's all knew the team needed to do better. During the first couple weeks of the regular season, Fawn played as a backup linebacker for Sean O'Donohue and Matt Ammons. He wasn't particularly adamant about continuing his career as a backup, so Fawn greatly increased his productivity and eventually took the starting job from Matt Ammons. As a starter, Fawn was terrific. Racking up tackles all over the field became his specialty, and he soon rose to the forefront of the team's defensive efforts. He was one of many reasons why the Coyotes ended up having such a stellar season, and the team ended with a record of 9-3. In his first playoff games against the Portland Pythons, Fawn made a huge impact with 11 tackles and a sack. The team succeeded in reaching the Ultimini game, which was to be played against the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. However, the team would ultimately fall short of a championship, as they lost the game 27-10. Ultimately though, Fawn was proud of how his team had played and of his performance, and he decided to work even harder in the offseason to prepare him for the NSFL Draft and the upcoming season. | Fawn was selected as the 69th pick overall in the season 21 DSFL Draft to the Kansas City Coyotes.

| + | In the S22 NSFL Draft, Fawn ended up being drafted to the Sarasota Sailfish, a newly created expansion team. Though he would have likely been asked to play another season with the Coyotes had he been drafted somewhere else, Fawn was immediately called up for the Sailfish. Fawn was to be a part of a solid young linebacker core consisting of him and Haha Mango Panda, another accomplished S22 linebacker. As an expansion team, the Sailfish didn't have tremendously high expectations entering the season. Fawn's role in the defense was almost completely reversed from his time in the DSFL. With the Coyotes, Fawn was primarily a tackling machine but lacked skill in coverage. With the Sailfish, Fawn was given the role of coverage linebacker, and he was able to perform quite well there. He racked up 18 passes defended throughout the regular season, which led all linebackers in the league. He was also an effective tackler, though not quite as effective as he had been with KC, and was able to sack the quarterback a handful of times. The Sailfish were able to perform reasonably well throughout the season, ending up with a record of 6-7 and the 6th seed in their conference. They were set to face off against the Yeti in the playoffs. The game didn't go as planned, as they ended up losing to the team that would eventually become the Ultimus Champs. Fawn was happy with both how he had performed and the success the team had this season and is looking to make a big jump entering next season. | ||

| + | In S23 Fawn Dillmiballs was looking for another good season, one which would hopefully include more team success than the year prior. Fawn had worked hard over the offseason, and due to him purchasing equipment as part of a new graphics gig, was looking quite solid on the TPE front. All this pointed to an upward trajectory for him, and given how hard the rest of the team had worked over the offseason and the excellent draft Sarasota GMs Rain Gordon and Dax Frost, there were high hopes in the locker room. Overall though, the season didn't go as planned. The Sailfish ended up with a record of 8-8, s bit of an improvement from the year prior but not the jump players and coaches were looking for. In a tie-breaker with the Philadelphia Liberty, the Sailfish ultimately failed to make the playoffs, and were sent to the couch even earlier than in S22. In terms of the season, Fawn was able to put together, it was pretty similar in quality to S22, but quite a bit more well rounded overall. Fawn ended with 85 tackles, a solid increase from the 70 in S22. Where he saw the most improvement was with his sack numbers, where he had an increase from 5 to 10, landing him the single-season sack record for a Sailfish player. He also racked up 13 passed defended, a notch lower than S22, but overall still a solid amount. Prior to S24, Fawn has been working harder than ever to maximize his production ahead of the prime years of his career. Look out for a great season from him next year! | ||

This has to do primarily with the fact that he was switched out of the weakside linebacker position, which Haha Mango-Panda took over, and took over the more tackle oriented middle linebacker position. That isn't to say Fawn didn't have a great year, as he managed to rack up an impressive 120 tackles, his FIRST EVER tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 7 passes defended.

The team ended with a record of 12-4, good for second in the conference, but unfortunately fell short of the Ultimus when they lost in the conference finals to the 14-2 Colorado Yeti. Had the Yeti not had an absolutely remarkable season, thanks in large part to their MVP quarterback, Wolfie McDummy, the Sailfish might have found themselves their first ISFL championship trophy. The offseason was a wacky one overall as well, as another round of expansion occurred, this time bringing in the Berlin Fire Salamanders and the New York Silverbacks. The Sailfish did end up losing two players in the expansion draft, but made great steps in the rookie draft and are looking to come back even stronger next season. | ||

Fawn "Boogey Man" Dillmiballs (born December 4, 2013) is an American football linebacker who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for University of Michigan (U-M) before going undrafted in the 2037 ISFL Draft (S22).
Contents
Early years
Fawn Dillmiballs was born into a family of 9. His two parents, Hugh and Candice, both worked as data analysts. Fawn has been hinting at a proffesional football career since birth, but with a birthweight of 13 pounds 4 ounces, its a surprise he was born in the first place. His parents were stunned. Not only had none of their other children eclipsed sizes remotely close to those Fawn was expected to reach, but also were they all extremely academically driven. Fawn was the opposite, as a young boy, he looked up to the legendary Booger McFarland, who spent his career primarily with the Tampa Bay Buccanneers of the NFL. Fawn played football throughout his high school career, but unfortunately after following in Booger's footsteps as a D-Tackle his first two seasons, he wasn't able to live up to his full potential. After making the switch to coverage linebacker, he went on a tear during his junior and senior years, showing flashes of speed while maintaining his ability to deal crushing blows. With 182 tackles, 19 sacks, 4 interceptions, 20 forced fumbles, and 32 tackles for loss, it was obvious that Fawn would have scouts knocking on his door day and night. Academically, Fawn struggled. Entereing his senior year with a 1.46 GPA, his parents were understandably frustrated with his performance. However, Fawn would eventually commit to the University of Michigan.
College career
Fawn was listed as a starter entering his first game for U of M, but unfortunately he was sidelined for non-athletic groin sprains. He played only 3 games his freshman year, and didn't have the breakout moment many of his peers and coaches expected. It would come however, when the Michigan State Spartans were driving with four minutes left in the 4th quarter Fawn's sophmore year. Having been benched shortly before his second season, he was surprised to hear his number called at such a pivotal moment. He ended up intercepting a pass from Brian Lewerke on the following play, and while sprinting his way down the sideline, knocked lineman Mike Panasiuk unconscious with a devastating truck, earning him the nickname "Boogey Man". He earned back the starting job, and succeeded in leading the Badgers to their first national championship in 36 years. Fawn developed a high football IQ during his final two years, mastering the ability to read plays and the quarterbacks eyes. He racked up 226 tackles, 19 interceptions, 22 forced fumbles, and 8 sacks his junior and senior years, earning him a spot in the Athletic Hall of Honor. As of late Fawn has busied himself in preparation for the upcoming DSFL draft, and hopes to make a proffessional roster to fulfill his ultimate goal.

Season 22: In the S22 NSFL Draft, Fawn ended up being drafted to the Sarasota Sailfish, a newly created expansion team. Though he would have likely been asked to play another season with the Coyotes had he been drafted somewhere else, Fawn was immediately called up for the Sailfish. Fawn was to be a part of a solid young linebacker core consisting of him and Haha Mango Panda, another accomplished S22 linebacker.

Season 23 In S23 Fawn Dillmiballs was looking for another good season, one which would hopefully include more team success than the year prior. Fawn had worked hard over the offseason, and due to him purchasing equipment as part of a new graphics gig, was looking quite solid on the TPE front. All this pointed to an upward trajectory for him, and given how hard the rest of the team had worked over the offseason and the excellent draft Sarasota GMs Rain Gordon and Dax Frost, there were high hopes in the locker room.

Prior to S24, Fawn has been working harder than ever to maximize his production ahead of the prime years of his career. Look out for a great season from him next year!
Season 24 Fawn took somewhat of a step back in season 24. He improved in some areas while falling behind drastically in others. This has to do primarily with the fact that he was switched out of the weakside linebacker position, which Haha Mango-Panda took over, and took over the more tackle oriented middle linebacker position. That isn't to say Fawn didn't have a great year, as he managed to rack up an impressive 120 tackles, his FIRST EVER tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 7 passes defended.
